    Payments to contractors will surely be part of the next Phase 4 bill. Hang in there, ladies, your government is on the way!

    Not sure how a non-profit qualifies as a "business." If you want to be classified as a business, pay taxes.

    29 in Colorado today, biggest one-day jump since this began.

    But it's all a libruhl hoax.
    The curve is being bent.
    The libruhl media are so upset about the great progress under Trump that they're resorting to fake news stories that the death count is really higher than claimed.

    How many of those dead interacted with the people we saw skiing a couple of weeks ago?

    My guess is more than Colorado wants to admit.

    Who knows. Ski resorts have been closed since March 15. But that's where it started here. First case was a tourist in Aspen.

    Edit: First person skied at Keystone and Vail, not Aspen.

    For now. I suspect in a year or so when the forensics scientists finish their work we'll find out it arrived in Colorado via the Denver airport. At any rate, the virus was rampage when those slopes were still open.

    Every nonprofit pays payroll taxes, including the one I work for. We also are required to pay property taxes and we collect sales tax where relevant. We care for 30,000 people a year and are the third biggest employer in our town. We don’t qualify as a business? Thanks. Guess I shouldn’t collect unemployment when my job is eliminated on Monday.

    Most likely, yes.

    The majority of the state's cases have been in high-country counties.

    Colorado ski areas should have shut down earlier during coronavirus outbreak
